The adventures of teaching computing science to university students

Tag Archives: developing

As part of sorting out the details of what to put into a mobile computing ‘roadshow’ for secondary pupils, I’ve been trying to find links to materials about the impact of mobiles in the developing world. Some of them will fit into the page and the later acccompanying slideshow rather well, and that’s good. The students will be presented with the wider picture than they normally see and think about, namely their mobile and them, so that they can appreciate how the impact of the mobile is greater outside of the developed world than in our world.

During the pulling together of the materials I keep thinking that it would be interesting to do a project with a team of students here, and a group of students, or workers in another country, so that together we can build something greater than the sum of us. However, while that will not happen today, or perhaps even this year, it would be nice to keep track of these resources that I’ve got so far, so that they are not stuck inside the ‘blog’ of Bloglines.
